‘Love it’, ‘The best’ – Leeds fans rave over Christiansen decision v Sheffield United
By Russell Edge
Leeds United fans have taken to social media to rave over Thomas Christiansen’s starting XI for their clash against Sheffield United on Friday.
The club confirmed their first team line up via their official Twitter account, which revealed that the Danish manager had made one change from the team which beat Bristol City 3-0 in their last league outing, with Vurnon Anita replacing the suspended Gaetano Berardi.
Leeds ended a run of four defeats in five games at Ashton Gate to reignite their promotion hopes, having led the Championship after a bright start to the season.
As a result of their impressive performance last week, Christiansen has kept faith with his players, and the decision has been warmly greeted by the Leeds faithful on Twitter.
Here, Football Insider has rounded up a selection of the supporters’ best tweets:
Leeds currently sit fourth in the Championship table, four points and one place behind the Blades, who have won a joint highest nine games since earning promotion from League One last season.
Sheffield United are level on points with second placed Cardiff City, who beat Leeds 3-1 earlier in the campaign.
The Whites are now six points behind league leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers, and a point ahead of Aston Villa.
